See its simple follow this :-
1) If Proceeding is before Court of Inquiry and Conciliation Proceeding no legal representative can be appointed.
2) Before labor court, Industrial Tribunal, National Tribunal no legal representative can be appointed unless other party agree to such or court itself allow such representation.
This is under section 36 (3)/(4) read along with case law Co-op Stores Ltd v Industrial Tribunal.
But in many cases court allow this. So present the case carefully.
Appreciate if helpful

The Labour Laws supports the workman to engage either a Lawyer or Legal representation on his behalf to appear before Conciliation Officer or the Labour Court. So any counter statement on this matter by the Managegement shall not be acceptable to the court of law. Therefore, the case to be challenged on merits rather than testing the validity of appearance of of an Advocate on the side of workman. regards,
